<h1>Printing a report</h1>
<p>You can print reports either through&nbsp;your browser&nbsp;or through 
 a PDF file.&nbsp;PDF printing offers the most flexibility because it allows 
 you to adjust PDF-specific settings and&nbsp;works independently of your 
 browser's print settings. Both printing methods are included in the steps 
 below.</p>
<h2>To print a report using PDF</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">Click on the 
 name of the report that you want to print. The report opens. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>From the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Home</B></span> 
 menu, select either <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Grid</B></span>, <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Graph</B></span>, or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Grid 
 and Graph</B></span> view. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>From the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Home</B></span> 
 menu, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Print</B></span>. The Print 
 Options page opens. For details about the printing options, see the procedure 
 below.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Print the file from either the PDF preview or from your 
 browser.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="whs3">To modify report printing 
 options</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ol type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Preferences</B></span> 
 link at the top of MicroStrategy Web.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>General</B></span> 
 on the left.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Use PDF 
 for printing reports</B></span> check box, then click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply</B></span> 
 to save your preference changes.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Follow steps 1-3 in the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>To 
 print a report using PDF </B></span><span>section</span>. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>From the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Print</B></span> 
 drop-down list, select whether you want to print the whole report or only 
 the portion displayed. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>You can specify text to be displayed at the top (header) 
 and at the bottom (footer) of each printed page. To do this, click <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Edit Custom Settings</B></span><span>:</span> </p></li>
</ol>
<ol type="1" class="whs1">
	<ul>
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Inserting 
 text</B></span>: Type the text to appear in the left, center, and right portions 
 of the page's header and footer. You can automatically insert report fields, 
 such as the report's name or a page number, by choosing macros from the<span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B> Insert Macro</B></span> drop-down list. </p></li>
	</ul>
</ol>
<p class="whs4">For example, to add &quot;Page 1 of x&quot; 
 in the middle of the footer, click in the center text box in the Footer. 
 Type the word <span class=Code style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">&quot;Page 
 &quot;, then select</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Page Number</B></span> 
 from the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Insert Macro</B></span> drop-down 
 list. Type &quot; of &quot;, then click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Insert 
 number of pages</B></span> icon.</p>

<li class=p><p class="whs6"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Formatting 
 the text</B></span>: You can format header and footer text using HTML tags. 
 For example, placing <span class=Code>&lt;B&gt;</span> and <span class=Code>&lt;/B&gt;</span> 
 tags around a word applies bold font to the word. You can also use <span 
 class=Code>&lt;I&gt;</span> and <span class=Code>&lt;/I&gt;</span> for 
 italics, <span class=Code>&lt;U&gt;</span> and <span class=Code>&lt;/U&gt;</span> 
 for underlines, and <span class=Code>&lt;FONT&gt;</span> to format the 
 text font, for example, <span class=Code>&lt;FONT face=&quot;Courier New&quot; 
 size=&quot;4&quot; color=&quot;#ff0000&quot; style=&quot;background-color: 
 #ff0000&quot;&gt;Your text&lt;/FONT&gt;</span>. Use <span class=Code>&lt;BR&gt;</span> 
 to insert a space between two lines. &nbsp;</p></li>

 details </B></span>check box. The filter details are placed before the contents
